Post subject: Installing Visio 2002 Upgrade Product With Vista Archived from groups: microsoft>public>visio>general (more info?)
I have recently upgraded to a new PC running Vista. I am trying to load a
copy of Visio Proffessional 2002 upgrade. The original non-upgrade Visio
software was Visio Proffesional Ver 4.5 for Windows NT and 95. Visio 2002
runs on Win 98. Since the original non-upgrade Visio was for Win 95 vista
will not recognize the disk when the Visio 2002 installation tries to verify
I have a non-upgrade copy. The Visio 2002 installation fails because it can
not access the disk to verify the original product.
I will not be able to buy a Visio 2007 upgrade product because it will want
a non-upgrade copy of Visio to install the upgrade. I will have the same
problem as i do now. Any suggestions short of paying full price for a new
non-upgrade version of Visio?

I can see your dilemma, with Visio 2007 upgrade you need to have access to
a qualifying copy of Visio in order to complete the install. Why don’t you
work with the trial version of 2007 and see if it meets your needs before
going further?

I am having a similar problem when trying to install Visio Std. 2007 upgrade.
I have the media for Visio Std 2000, but when I try to install Visio Std.
2007 upgrade and then insert the Visio 2000 disc, I get an error that an
upgrade path was not found. I am using Vista and as well. This worked fine
under Windows XP.
Any way that y ou can see around this?
Thanks,
Chris
